UC San Diego researchers conducted a study to develop and evaluate an internet and text message based weight loss study for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors. We hypothesized that those study participants randomized to the intervention will demonstrate greater reduction in BMI-z score as compared to the control group.
